I'm working on Xiaomi Notebook Pro 15" i7-8550U/16GB/256SSD (+ one empty slot for ssd)/Nvidia MX150. I'm using it with Ubuntu for python development and it costed me around 1200$. Battery life is around 8h of work in PyCharm (Jetbrains IDE based on the same technology as android studio). I know that some people overclock gpu under windows because of cooling capacity. I'm overally very satisfied and recommend it if you are willing to have notebook without warranty.

I'm considering buying the exact model as it seems that has the closes form to a MBP trackpad.Is 3/4 finger swiping working? mainly for the workspace switching. I'm guessing there is option/support to use it, but don't know if Ubuntu supports that out of the box.
